Lolita, TX
How exposed is Lolita to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lolita lands at the 82nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 337 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lolita at the 83rd percentile, close to its 82nd-percentile risk score.
Lolita's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Lolita's 337 counted buildings, 69.1% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Lolita compares
Lolita's 82nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 65th ranking inside Texas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 17 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lolita ranks 5,810 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,670 by building count (1 is largest). Within Texas alone, it ranks 629 of 1,795 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Texas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lolita
Lolita's very high rating (82nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With 69.1% of Lolita in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Lolita's 82nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Lolita, see the exposure-zones guide.
